It was a little chilly this morning as we went on our walk by the Sea Wall, but after a really good chase of the rabbits, there were loads of them, we soon warmed up and had some fun running on the shingle chasing the Wheatear and Pied Wagtail birds!

It was a naughty thing to do 'cos Old Two Legs was trying to take a picture of them at the time!

We must have had a bit of rough weather out to sea 'cos today there was loads of seaweed type stuff at the high water mark, it didn't smell all that interesting and was sort of light and wispy.

So OTL just had to take a picture!

High Tide Mark

Holly and me were running along the wall and diving off for a sniff in the grass. We didn't see OTL get ahead of us and hide down on the beach, so when we realised he was missing we rushed after him, only to see him pop up and run off a couple of shots, sneaky OTL!

Holly Full Stink and Flying!

We saw that Little Egret again and this time he was having lunch.

Lunch Time!

There were the Fishermen out on the mud looking for their worms, but Holly found where they started from and asked why the footprints wobbled.

Maybe they have been at OTL's whisky or maybe it was the shortbread?

Wobbly Fishermen

OTL had to go to the carriers, so that was a good excuse to go to the New Park.

We had a good run around and we saw a couple of dogs with flashing lights on their collars and OTL saw them as well and thought it would be a good idea for us to have them so the rabbits get a chance to see us in the dark!

About Me

Hello, my name is Daisy and I was taken away from
Mum and Dad by Old Two Legs and The Missus one cold dark evening. It was a bit
traumatic at the time but we all soon settled down and everything is OK now.

My sister Holly came to live with us about a year later and between the pair of us we manage to keep these Two Legs in line!

In December 2012, we were joined by Snowflake, a little ferret we found in our garden. She had her own home in OTL's office called Snowy Heights!

Then in July 2013 Mr Brambles, a super Sandy Hob Ferret, came to live with us and be a mate for Snowflake. We sadly lost Mr Brambles to old age in September 2015. A gentle ferret who will be missed terribly. We also lost Miss Snowflake in November 2015. She has left a big hole in our hearts, she was a real Daddy's Girl to the end.

There arrived two new ferrets in August 2015, Miss May and Miss April who are sisters, born in 2013, we think! They were full of fun and mischief and kept up the tradition of pinching our biscuits, just like Brambles did!

Sadly Miss April contracted Cardiomyopathy, which is a heart condition. She died in September 2016 and is resting in a flower pot in the garden with Snowflake and Brambles.

We were down to two ferrets and an empty cage but that didn't last long, a brother and sister ferrets needed a 'Forever Home' and Fred & Wilma moved in. They are about two and a half years old, so they were born 2012/2013. Fred is a gentle soul who loves cuddles with OTL and Wilma a bossy sister but loves OTL! We reckon them to be Polecat Coloured Ferrets.

It was a shock when Wilma was attacked by a dog and unfortunately died of shock a few hours later. Like Snowflake, Brambles and April, she is also sleeping in a flower pot in our garden.

Fred was not happy about being on his own and he was introduced to Wendy, a Polecat Coloured Ferret who found her way to the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue.

Introductions went well to begin with but within a day or so she began instructing Fred on just who was really in charge!

We had something similar with Miss May who lost her sister to Cardiomyopathy (Weak Heart). Miss May is a feisty young lady and she was introduced to Eric de Ferret while we were down at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and although she tried to be a bit bossy, he was having none of it! He may only be six months old but her didn't back down and the pair came to an agreement!

So young Eric moved in and they both started to learn how to get on together!

OTL takes us walking every day and we have 'Adventures'! The Missus feeds us, so, what more can a pair of puppies and family of fun loving ferrets ask for?
